Catalytic living ring-opening metathesis polymerization

Nagarkar, Amit A. ; Kilbinger, Andreas F. M.

In: Nature Chemistry, 2015, vol. 7, no. 9, p. 718–723

In living ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), a transition-metal–carbene complex polymerizes ring-strained olefins with very good control of the molecular weight of the resulting polymers. Because one molecule of the initiator is required for each polymer chain, however, this type of polymerization is expensive for widespread use. We have now designed a chain-transfer agent (CTA)...

Chelating C4-bound imidazolylidene complexes through oxidative addition of imidazolium salts to palladium(0)

Krüger, Anneke ; Kluser, Evelyne ; Müller-Bunz, Helge ; Neels, Antonia ; Albrecht, Martin

In: European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, 2012, p. -

Oxidative addition of donor-functionalised 4-iodoimidazolium salts to palladium(0) provides a selective route for the preparation of abnormal chelating N-heterocyclic carbene complexes and enables the introduction of a variety of donor groups. The activation of the C4 position does not necessitate protection of the imidazolium C2 position, thereby leaving this site available for further...

Catalytic hydrogenation using abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene palladium complexes: catalytic scope and mechanistic insights

Heckenroth, Marion ; Khlebnikov, Vsevolod ; Neels, Antonia ; Schurtenberger, Peter ; Albrecht, Martin

In: ChemCatChem, 2011, vol. 3, no. 1, p. 167-173

Palladium complexes containing abnormally bound C4-bound dicarbene ligands have been exploited for catalytic alkene hydrogenation. Comparison to normally C2-bound homologues indicates that the carbene bonding mode critically influences the catalytic activity. Good catalytic performance in the hydrogenation of cis-disubstituted olefins and non-isomerizable terminal olefins under mild...

DFT Study of the Jahn-Teller Effect in Cu(II) Chelate Complexes

Gruden-Pavlović, Maja ; Zlatar, Matija ; Schläpfer, Carl-Wilhelm ; Daul, Claude A.

In: Journal of Molecular Structure: THEOCHEM, 2010, p. -

Density Functional Theory (DFT) in conjuction with the Intrinsic Distortion Path (IDP) is employed to study the Jahn-Teller (JT) effect in all four diastereoisomers of tris(ethylenediamine)copper(II) ([Cu(en)₃]²⁺) and tris(ethyleneglycol)copper(II) ([Cu(eg)₃]²⁺) complexes. As a consequence of the JT effect all the isomers tetragonally elongate to the C₂ configurations. Although there...

Chelating NHC ruthenium(II) complexes as robust homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts

Gandolfi, Claudio ; Heckenroth, Marion ; Neels, Antonia ; Laurenczy, Gbor ; Albrecht, Martin

In: Organometallics, 2009, vol. 28, no. 17, p. 5112–5121

A series of ruthenium(II) complexes have been prepared by using bidentate chelating N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands that feature different donor groups E (E = olefin, thioether, carboxylate, and NHC). Rigid coordination of all donor sites was concluded from NMR spectroscopy, and the electronic impact of the donor group was evaluated by electrochemical analyses. The chelating donor group had...
